About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare the cosmetic appearance of two different contact lenses on Asian eyes.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be asked to evaluate the cosmetic appearance of two different contact lenses worn contralaterally for 20 minutes. No vision or comfort variables will be assessed in this cosmetic appearance and lens fit non-dispensing study.

Being tested
nelfilcon A contact lens with print, etafilcon A contact lens with print

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cosmetic Appearance Preference

    Participant will be asked on a questionnaire, "Which lens do you prefer for looking more natural?" Subject will record on the questionnaire, "Left lens," "Right lens," or "No preference."

    Measured: After 20 minutes of wear

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Lens Centration

    Investigator will assess lens centration using a biomicroscope, which magnifies the appearance of the contact lens on the participant's eye. Lens centration will be graded on a 5-point scale, with 0 being centered and 4 being severe decentration with corneal exposure.

    Measured: After insertion and before 20 minutes of wear

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nelfilcon A contact lens with print and etafilcon A contact lens with print in people with Cosmetic Appearance, run by CIBA VISION at 1 site in Singapore.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Singapore. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cosmetic Appearance Preference (time frame: After 20 minutes of wear). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
